[Verse 1]
Evil knows, it will spread like a chain reaction
To be shown, the blood stains on the grass will still grow

[Chorus]
And I dream violence
Hear a hive of a million wings above me
I run hopelessly, run aground like I’m burrowing
Hug my knees, now I made my peace

[Verse 2]
Blood stains the final reaction
Wounded soul, wounded soldier

[Chorus]
And I dream violence
Hear a hive of a million wings dogging me
I run hopelessly, run aground like I’m burrowing
Hug my knees, now I find my peace

[Bridge]
So this is how it’s shown
Wish I’d never saw it
That man, his body’s out there
Buried in the snow
If I could just say goodbye to somеbody, to ease their suffеring
I’d say, “Hold tight, good buddy”
I’d say, “We’re grateful souls”

[Chorus]
And I dream violence
Hear a hive of a million wings haunting me
I run hopelessly, run aground like I’m burrowing
Hug my knees, now I made my peace

[Outro]
This is not a show

This is how it goes
That man, his body’s out there
Buried in the snow
Made it to me, though
Little body carried right here
Back into my soul
This is how it goes
That man, his body’s out here
His mother’ll never know
His father’ll never find it
He’s buried in the snow
This is how it goes
This is not a show
That man, his body’s out there
His brother’ll never know
This is how it goes
Back into my soul
That man, his body’s out there
His son will never know
